SHOPPERS in Scotland are more anxious about Christmas spending than those in the south of England, the UK's biggest retailer Tesco revealed as it posted its fourth consecutive quarter of falling sales.
Tesco launched a £500 million price-cutting campaign in September and has seen a 1% rise in sales volumes in the UK, where it has 2700 stores, in the 13 weeks to November 26.
With price cuts this translated into a 0.9% decline in like-for-like sales excluding VAT and petrol. This matched the fall in the previous quarter.
